Moving In, Moving Out: Census Migration Figures Released

Newly released migration trend reports from the Census Bureau provide
details on movement into, within and out of the Hoosier state. In the
analysis of state-to-state flows of population between 1995 and 2000,
451,397 people moved into Indiana, with a slightly smaller number, 429,772,
moving out.

This earned Indiana a spot with those states that experienced net in-migration
during that time period, such as Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kentucky. Illinois,
Michigan and most eastern states lost population during that five-year
period. Notably, 84,760 people from Illinois moved to Indiana between
1995 and 2000.
